Church opts for Nativity scene made out of LEGO

A church in Kent has opted to feature a Nativity scene entirely out of LEGO.

Bessels Green Baptist Church in Sevenoaks has invited the local community to place their own figures into the display, a move that has seen monkeys, a wizard and a parrot join proceedings at the manger.

Minister Neil Durling told The Scotsman: “We have the main seven stories of the Nativity made from Lego.

“We’re allowing and encouraging people to add their own quirky bits and bobs to them. We’ve got aliens and monsters with the shepherds and sheep, and a spaceman looking after one of the horses in the manger.

“This is the first time we’ve done this, and I think it’s already proving a big hit.”
